Sure. It's the dungeon world system which is used for settlements (or steadings in dungeon world terms) but I think it can probably be used well enough for a PC's new barony. It uses tags for population, prosperity, and defences which is sort of rated by a number but uses descriptors instead (so...

I've not heard of Aria, is it a complex system?

I've been thinking about domain play recently, not because I need to, but because I've started reading through birthright again. There's a few things out there that can be used depending on how much detail you want. The Rules Cyclopedia is fairly detailed using 6 mile hexes, each of which have...

I'd be interested if there is one, I'm not sure anything really exists out there for that bit, though there are other alternatives from other editions, none go into the detail of domain play like the RC or ACKS. I think ACKS might be a little too detail oriented for my tastes, moreso than the RC...

I think in pf2e (anyone, feel free to correct me), they've changed it so that you only need 100xp per level, but it is the enclunter difficulty that determines the xp. Meaning a 1st level group fighting some orcs gets the same amount of xp as a 9th level group fighting some giants. I think after...

Quite like the look of it, I might give this one a look when it's released.

I could happily sit at level 5-6 for ages.

Sure, but this thread is about how excited are we about the new books. For those of us that aren't, why bother buying them just to change things.

You might be thinking of paragon classes. I can't remember if they were base classes or prestige classes but they allowed you to become more dwarfy or more elfy. Pretty sure they were in 3.5, I know they had some in the WoWrpg.

In my setting dragonborn can have tails because I don't care of they do or not. They don't have wings, but sorcerers are typically draconic sorcerers as that gets them closer to their draconic forbears and they get wings from that.

I've gone from a little to not at all (and I might have been very interested when first announced, but I might have already been disappointed with the 5.5 updates by that point). I was interested in the lore to see where they're going with the setting but I've reached the point where I no longer...

It seems to be fairly common. I didn't bother with it, not sure what the differences are between 3rd and 4th, but don't want to spend money on a playtest to find out. If I knew it would eventually be the core handbook, maybe, but otherwise, nah.

I hate it.

Well, I can't speak for 0e/1e but a lot of the 2e adventures did care about numbers. They'd often have a "For 3-5 players of levels 2-4" or something like that.

Yeah, you see the occasional person out and about, perhaps more during a helltide, but it's pretty empty. It's a bit more crowded at the start of a season but I expect once people reach torment 4 they stay there which makes the levelling experience quite lonely (considering normally consists of...

That's cool, and it might explain why nephalim can become more powerful than angels and demons, they might be a truer reflection of the first being of creation.

That was part of the plot from d3 from memory, diablo invades heaven and tries to corrupt whatever they have that allows them to be reborn. What they return as is an interesting question, would Maltheal see his time as the angel of death as a path to wisdom and return to his position as the...

I've never read it, but my general thought is that if a book is boring, I stop reading it rather than holding out on it picking up.

In earlier DnD it was definitely common to have mixed levels, I think when a PC died back when I ran becmi or 2e, they started with enough xp to be one level below the party average. With 3e onwards, it turns out that xp doesn't matter as much when everyone is on the same xp track. Not sure if I...

Skynet the courier company? They've been around for years!
